OUT ON A BURGLAR HUNT.

A Building Searched for a Robber that
Failed TO Show Up.
The penetrating sound of a policeman's
whistle was heard in the neighborhood of
Broughton and Whitaker streets about 10
o'clock last night. 1t was heard farther
than that, for those doubled arreled whistles
can be heard for mile, but it was evident
that the policeman who was working the
wind end of that whistle was somewhere
near Broughton and Whitaker and every
door and window let out a man who ran
down to see what the cause of it was. 1t was
located by the lane door of James McCirathS
grocery store where one of The policemen
from the Burglar Alarm Office was found
Officer Walsh ran up soon, and the thief
catcher told him that he was standing just
by the corner of the lane when he heard
some one break in a door He turned and
ran down the lane, and found the grocery
house door open, although the movable
grating which covers q portion of the door
way was still up. He thought the burglar
had got between this grating and the door
and showed the door in.
In few minutes another man came
over from the burglar alarm office, and
Officer Neidlinger ran up Mr.. McCrath
was then sent for, and while the crowd was
awaiting his coming, the burglar who was
Gagged up inside was freely discussed. There
were some well-lInown citizens there, and
they were very much excited. 1t was a real
burglar hunt, and everyone expected as
soon as Mr.. McGrath opened the store
to see bold, bad robber dragged
out. Several young men criticised the
officers quite harshly about not breaking
open the door and going III, and said il they
were policemen that is what they would do
At last Mr.. McGrath came and opened the
front door. Not one of those young men
entered. Officer Neidlinger and the burg
lar hunters went in with Mr.. McGrath, but
Officer Walsh and the crowd at the lane
door did not know that he had come. A
box was kicked over just by the door on the
inside If the whole crowd had been kicked
over it could not have scattered quicker,
all except Walsh, who drew his
pistol and stood awaiting the
denouement. Then he learned that. the 9TH
ers were inside, and it was they who had
knocked the box down, so he went inside
too. Candles were procured, and five men,
with cleaning pistols i'll hand, marched
down in the cellar, searched the first and
secorTi floors, and the garnet, and the only
thing they found out of the way was a
mackerel that had strayed out of the box,
but just the same, when the thief hunters
came out, every man on the sidewalk said:
Il told you he'd be gone"
